Bringing a ‘bit of Texas home!

THE ORIGINAL RIB TICKLER RESTAURANT

Since ‘84, Sylvia and Ted Johnson have been sharing life and BBQ with friends and family. Offering award winning slow, smoked BBQ made with homemade sauces and plenty of sides. Five generations of family have worked in the “RT”. We still smoke the good stuff with wood, make everything (and we mean everything) from scratch. Potato salad comes from potatoes, coleslaw starts as cabbage. Every day, you can count on enjoying a mouthful of flavorful brisket, falls off the bone ribs, delicately smoked turkey, link sausages and more. Check out our full menu here.

Come hungry! We have a bit of Texas waiting for you.
